2008 GTi cam follower

(1/2) > >>

brinks787:
I replaced my cam follower this afternoon at 62,000 miles after reading all the horror stories on the net about them.

I used the kit from Awesome GTi which came with new bolts and seal and of course, the follower.

Could someone have a look at the photos and let me know if this is the normal sort of wear for an 08 car, to be honest I was expecting worse.  It looks like some of the coating on the contact area has worn away and that's about it.

I'm trying to see if its worth doing every 60k or so or whether the later models can just be left alone. 

What do you think?

Blackgtiman:
looks fine IMO and didn't need replacement.

dazza:
i've seen worse

brinks787:
Thanks chaps, I think i'll just leave it and check it again in another 60k.

I wonder if they upgraded the later model years?

shail:
Mine looked the same when I did mine last week.  2007 with 77k.  Only just bought the car, so unsure if it had been done.
